Blue Sea Systems' ST Blade Split Bus Fuse Block, model 5032, offers 12 circuits divided into two isolated groups of six ATO®/ATC® circuits. It's perfect for use with two isolated batteries or a single battery for a mix of 24 - hour and switched circuits. The screw terminals accept ring terminals, and one - piece stainless flange nuts ensure secure connections. The clear insulating cover has label recesses and storage for two fuses, meeting ABYC/USCG insulation requirements. It features an easy - to - open push - button latch. With tin - plated copper buses and fuse clips, this fuse block provides a space - saving and cost - effective circuit protection solution when distribution panel circuit breakers are limited. Fuses are sold separately. Specifications include 12 circuits, a maximum amperage of 100A per block and 30A per circuit, a maximum voltage of 32V DC, and more.
Using the Blue Sea 5032 fuse block is easy. First, make sure to connect the wires to the screw terminals, and use ring terminals for a secure fit. You can use it with either two isolated batteries or a single battery for different types of circuits. When opening the cover to access the fuses, just press the push - button latch. Remember, the fuses are sold separately, so you'll need to buy them according to your needs. For mounting, use #8 screws (M4). When tightening the screw terminals, follow the recommended torque of 18 in - lb (2.03 Nm), and for other connections, use 24 in - lb (2.71 N m). Keep the fuse block clean and dry to ensure its proper functioning. Check the fuses regularly to see if they are blown, and replace them when necessary. Avoid overloading the circuits, as the maximum amperage per circuit is 30A and 100A per block.
